This new ‘hhhnnnnngghhnnngghh’ is trés annoying.
 
Morning fraus. Jack has gotten up early to buy the TayTay album. Of course, every lyric is being sung *directly* to her :rolleyes: . I bloody love Taylor Swift so I'll be annoyed if Jack ruins her, but I'd also not exactly call her a lyrical genius (one of the reasons I love her...). It's very much on a par with Jack's love of twee poetry - might be risking irking some fraus here, but I'm willing to bet a lot of money that Jack loves Rupi Kaur...

Well...it’s not a pure fact though is it. In her opinion she is, and that’s fine, it’s an opinion shared by lots of people. But she knows that by posting that, people will disagree with her...which she will then see as people attacking her blah blah don’t you know I’m having a tough time blah blah.

Why does her language around food set off red flags for me? I don't have much experience of EDs in the sense of denying oneself food, more the opposite - have worked with a few people that ate to excess, sneaking foods, eating inappropriate foods etc. But the greedy/scoffing/snaffling/wolfing down/food coma type of terminology sometimes feels to me like someone protesting too much? Or am I reading too much into that? 🤔

Does she always have to be so over-dramatic about everything?!

Calm down, calm down. Maybe a lady doctor can get that dismembered finger sown on again. And help you with all your feels. I think lady doctors have an innate ability to deal with those, unlike those brawny men doctors, who are only good at eating steak and drinking beer.

I don't think you are. I have no personal experience with ED, but I don't think her language around food is healthy.
 
God, I foresee a day of tweets about Folklore. She truly is a teenager. Don't get me wrong, I love music, have some favourite artists, etc. But anyone over the age of 18 who goes on and on about 'greatest songwriter of all time' or tit like that just needs to shut up. It's boring as hell. Enjoy the music you enjoy, tell people you like the new album/song by xyz and then just shut up. No one cares.

She has a very disorded approach to food and eating, yes. It doesn't sound like a healthy relationship at all (but are any of Jack's?)

Not a Swifty lover (sorry, not sorry 😜), but she's being incredibly teenage fangirl over the new album - "OMG the lyrics are speaking directly to ME", which is possibly a little sad. I get Tay Tay fans can get a little extra though. Wonder if Jack is in with some of them, because they like a pile on too!
 
I think she is being unfair to her ex, with all these snippy comments. Her ex seems to have moved on with her life, so why can't she? I would understand it all if they were star crossed lover teenagers but not fully grown adults.

I assume that even if the departure was abrupt, that in the meantime and explanantion has been given of what went wrong/ issues that had came up.

If this is the case and her ex has explained why she left the she really needs to move on now and let her be, stop trying to make her feel like she's missing out, that she has broken her heart. I am sure she knows she has and she probably has one herself.

Most people leave their relationships feeling sad and upset that it failed because at one point it was everything they wanted. She needs to remember that her ex is a person ( a very busy one, who doesn't tweet what she does every second of very day) so just let her be.
